Hello Candidate,
Dengue Fever , commonly known as break bone fever is a flu-like illness caused by the Dengue virus. It is caused when an Aedes mosquito carrying the virus bites a healthy person. This disease is mainly found in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
Some of its symptoms are listed below.
- Headache
- Muscle, bone and joint pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Pain behind the eyes
- Swollen glands
- Rash
There is no specific treatment of Dengue fever or cure as Dengue is a virus. But you can prevent yourself by keeping some safety measures. Some are listed below.
- Medication: Painkillers like Tylenol or Paracetamol are generally prescribed to the patients. IV drips are sometimes supplemented in case of severe dehydration.
- Stay hydrated: During vomiting and high fever our body loses water, so stay hydrated. Increase your intake of fluids.
- Hygiene: Hygiene is of the utmost importance, even more so when you are not well. The patient can opt for a sponge bath if not a regular bath. Add a few drops of disinfectant liquid like Dettol to the water being used for bathing.
Hope this helps.
